If you are reading this chances are you know what twitter is and if you don’t have an account yet you can get one at www.twitter.com

If you are wondering why twitter is important you can check out this video which gives a great explanation.

For a long time I just used the twitter site or my iphone to update twitter.  There is nothing wrong with doing it that way but you don’t get as involved as you do with a desktop client. You can see people’s conversations instead of only noticing who is directly talking to you.

I tried using twirl but never got into it. I then noticed some of my friends tweets saying tweetdeck on them. I decided to download it and check it out. www.tweekdeck.com

Now tweetdeck I was really able to get into. There are many different options including searches, 12 seconds, stock twittering, twitscoop, twitpic, and an option to shorten urls.

My favorite option by far is the ability to see facebook status updates. I have several friends on facebook. I even use facebook more than twitter. Now I can see the update within tweetdeck just like the tweets I receive. Now I find myself leaving tweetdeck open all the time to keep up with my friends.

If you use twitter and facebook I would absolutly recomend tweetdeck over the other twitter clients.
